We are starting a new project where I have to install JDK and JRE into Windows 2008R2 servers. I want to use Chocolatey for this. As a beginner could any of you suggest me.
If you search the Chocolatey Website, you will find packages for both the JDK and JRE. Here are the relevant links:
Search Chocolatey.org for JRE Packages
Search Chocolatey.org for JDK Packages
NOTE: Here I am using the ability to query only the Package ID using the id: notation.
You will see that a number of packages are returned for each search, and especially for the JDK, this is because there are different versions available. Only you will know which version you want though.
After you have identified if a package exists that suits your needs you can go ahead and install it. The instructions on how to do this are on the package page itself, for example here, assuming that you are happy to install the latest JDK.
choco install jdk
If there is not a package that exactly fits what you are looking for, you might have to implement your own package. The creation of a package, and what is required is too long to include within this answer, but I would encourage you to read the extensive documentation that we have available here.

I have updated my Eclipse for Committers to version 2021-12 (For MacOS), and found out that the default Git-plugin version installed is 6.0. Since Git deprecated some features who are still crucial to me, i tried to downgrade Git version to 5.11 (the last version i know that has the requested features).
But apparently Eclipse doesn't allow to uninstall any of it's Git add-ons, which is the first step in the downgrading process.
I tried to uninstall from different menu paths, but they all lead to failure. I also tried that with "Eclipse for Java developers" (non-committers), and with older versions of Eclipse, without success.
Does anyone know what can i do?
Thanks.
Like it says in the dialog, the Git Integration is required by something else you have installed. There's little unique about the "Eclipse for Committers" download, meaning if you can't uninstall something you want to uninstall, you can still start from the bare basics and then install more into it. You should start with an SDK download from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ and then add the versions of software you actually want to it.
I haven't found one to install Eclipse 4.2 Juno. Default Ubuntu repositories (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04) suggest me the archaic Galileo version. And I found the Eclipse's page on Launchpad which was updated in 2009.
I can, of course, simply download the archive with all the files from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, but that's not Debian way, is it? I mean, no automatic updates and other aptitude-managed cool things.
So, is there any repository that maintains the most recent version of Eclipse?
I think it is unlikely that you will find a newer package for Lucid. People tend to create packages for newer versions of Ubuntu.
If it's not possible to upgrade Ubuntu, what you could try is to make your own package but you would still not get automatic upgrades. From a quick look, it looks like that Juno needs some libraries to build that could be newer than the versions you have in your system, so this may end up being quite difficult. It could possibly be the reason why it is not available for Lucid in the first place.
If Juno works in your system, the quick and dirty solution is to first create a temporary folder, e.g. eclipse_3.8.0 and then do the following:
mkdir /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0/DEBIAN
mkdir /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0/opt
tar xzvf eclipse-juno.tar.gz -C /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0/opt
dpkg-deb -b --no-check /path/to/eclipse_3.8.0
This will create a deb package that installs eclipse in /opt/eclipse. You may want to put a control file inside the DEBIAN folder to add a description, dependencies, etc.
If you still want to give building a try, from the official ubuntu launchpad page for eclipse you can download the source files and especially the control files stored in the xxx.debian.tar.gz file. Take a look at the Debian wiki for some tips on how to build. Precise has the Indigo SR2 version and Quantal seems to have Juno.
Within the context of upgrading plugins explain how to resolve plugin dependencies when NetBeans user interface's reports specific missing dependencies, yet these do not resolve with a google search or are unmentioned in the netbeans FAQ.
The practical example leading me to ask this question was when I attempted to install an in-development-plugin org-netbeans-modules-htmlprojects.nbm. It requires General Queries API v1.24 and I have v1.19.1.
Have a look at the bug report that mentions the nbm, it's for version 7. This also means that the mentioned version for GQA is also version 7 specific.
You best choice is probably to upgrade to version 7, it has some nice improvements over version 6.9 like HTML5 support. As a new install picks up the configuration of an installed previous version upgrading shouldn't be a lot of work.
EDIT based on restated question:
The short form: you cannot, it's not meant to work that way.
The long form: due to what happened here and the inner workings of Netbeans the error message was less clear than it could have been...
you downloaded a module for a higher version than the installed one
Netbeans' nbm deployment descriptor states dependencies on editor modules, not on editor versions - see inside the nbm which is actually a ZIP file Info/info.xml, manifest element, OpenIDE-Module-Module-Dependencies attribute.
Normally that error would not happen, as the version of the nbm will normally match the editor version, and the dependencies should either be satisfied or satisfiable by on-the-fly installation of the missing dependencies.
I've set up Eclipse in Ubuntu 10.04. I currently have the OpenJDK JRE installed but don't have the JDK needed to compile.
However, the code written Eclipse still compiles. Is this a standard compiler included in Eclipse? I've searched through the package manager and don't seem to have any of the JDKs installed...
Note: running 'javac' in the terminal doesn't work.
If you download Eclipse from eclipse.org, it will bring everything it needs to work with it.
Eclipse is designed to be a standalone package which only minimally uses the components of the system on which it runs. This helps to provide the same experience everywhere.
On the down side, it makes Eclipse larger and more RAM-hungry, and also makes keeping Eclipse up-to-date a separate chore from keeping the rest of your system current.
You can see what Eclipse is using by going into your project build settings. It may be using its built-in compiler, which lets it easily highlight errors, rapidly do incremental builds, and such.
For what it's worth, the Java compiler included in Eclipse is a derivative of IBM's jikes compiler. It's not really so important what brand it is; what's important is that it is an incremental compiler; it sort of keeps your whole program inside itself and if you change a class (maybe even just a method) it will re-compile just the bit of code you've changed.
If you look at NetBeans, when you save a changed file it will call up an ant task to re-compile (via the JDK) at least the class you changed, maybe more. When your classes start to get bigger, you'll find (or at least I did) that this takes up a lot of time; I'm very happy with Eclipse (and IBM) for doing things the way they do. Without the external compilation step, code changes take place a lot more quickly.
Yes, the compiler has some differences compared to the "standard" compilers by Sun Oracle and OpenJDK. But I've never experienced a problem as a result. Still, for production use I'd recommend formally compiling using ant or maven and the JDK. Just to be on the safe side.
Eclipse, like unfortunately most substantial applications that require a JRE/JDK to run include it in the distribution.
For a good time on Lucid Lynx:
$ locate javac
You'll need to another source to the repository. Run the following commands.
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
There's a package for eclipse called eclipse and the java compiler (javac) is in sun-java6-jdk
Install it with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or sudo apt-get install eclipse
Eclipse does come with its own compiler, but I wouldn't recommend using it for distribution of source code. I'm not intimately familiar with it, but I've been told that it doesn't perform optimizations as well as other compilers and there are some known bugs in it. I can't dig up anything that supports this, but I do like the idea of building using the same JDK/compiler and running on the same JVM that your users are.
I would suggest obtaining the Sun JDK for Linux. You should be able to get it from the Synaptic Package Manager if you open the universe repositories.
I'm trying to learn to use glassfish for the first time. My IDE is netbeans and I've installed the glassfish plugin for netbeans. I opened up synaptics package manager and typed in glassfish. My choices were
imqv2
glassfish-activaton
glassfish-mail
glassfish-appserv
glassfish-toplink-essentials
glassfish-jmac-api
glassfish-javaee
I'm not sure what is in each package, or which package are needed. I can't seem to find anything that tells me anything descriptive about these packages.
I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to install glassfish, but I'd prefer to use apt-get / synaptics to install glassfish so that syntactics can take care of updating.
To strictly answer your question, I think that a typical install would at least include glassfish-appserv, glassfish-javaee, glassfish-toplink-essentials (for JPA).
But for development, I'd warmly recommend to use GlassFish v3 (because of the session preservation across deployments feature, to maximize productivity) and to install it manually in your home directory. Download the self-extracting installer file from here.
Do you want to run the latest and greatest software? It looks like Synaptic has Glassfish version 2 which is an entire major version out of date.
Just for the record: I love Ubuntu and their (well, Debian's) package management system. However, for any Java applications, I prefer to do manual installations. So, my Maven, Eclipse, Tomcat, Glassfish, etc. were all done through manual installs for the newest version... and because sudo apt-get install winds up throwing the app in some weird place and can have unexpected behavior.
Here is how you can do a manual install...
Download Glassfish: wget http://download.java.net/glassfish/v3/nightly/latest-glassfish.zip
Extract the archive anywhere on your filesystem
Inside your IDE such as Netbeans or Eclipse, setup a new server and point it at where you extracted the file
It's also useful to add a new environment variable to ~/.bashrc file, which will make it easier to start the server from the command-line, e.g. $GLASSFISH_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
Another cool thing to try, if you're into maven, is to use the maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin. It's a clean way to get a web app up and running and not need to manually install glassfish and not even have to use an IDE.
You might also try asking this question at superuser.com if you really want to get it working with Synaptic.
i dont know if this here is still open...
but if you know how to handle shell commands on ubuntu then you might find this here helpful:
